BODY AESTHETICS
Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that targets stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise, reshaping the body’s contours. Excess fat tissue in areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, and inner and outer thighs is removed using special cannulas through vacuum or gentle suction techniques. This procedure is not for weight loss but for improving regional contours, giving the body a more symmetrical and refined appearance.

What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction, commonly known as “fat removal,” aims not to reduce overall body weight but to eliminate localized fat deposits that cause disproportion. Even individuals with a normal body mass index may experience regional fat accumulation. Liposuction removes these excess fats, resulting in a more proportional and aesthetically balanced body shape.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
Individuals over 18 years old, in good general health, and with stable body weight are ideal candidates for liposuction. Those who maintain healthy lifestyle habits, such as balanced nutrition and regular exercise, tend to preserve the results of liposuction more effectively.
Procedure Process
A liposuction operation typically lasts between 30 minutes and two hours for a single area; it may take longer if multiple regions are treated. During the procedure, the surgeon accesses the fat tissue through small incisions and removes it using special cannulas. For comfort, local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia is usually preferred.
Recovery Period and Results
Mild pain, bruising, and swelling are normal after surgery and gradually subside within a few days. Wearing compression garments during the first weeks helps control swelling. Most patients can return to daily activities within one to two weeks, although full recovery may take several weeks. The final results depend on the treated area’s fat distribution, skin elasticity, and post-operative care and lifestyle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be any scars after liposuction?
Thanks to small and carefully placed incisions, scars are usually minimal and often hidden in discreet areas such as the bra or bikini line, making them hardly noticeable.
How long do liposuction results last?
For individuals who maintain a stable weight, healthy eating, and regular exercise, liposuction results can be long-lasting. However, factors such as significant weight gain, hormonal changes, or aging may affect body contours over time.
Liposuction sırasında ve sonrasında ne kadar ağrı olur?
Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia minimizes pain during the procedure. After surgery, mild discomfort, pain, and swelling may occur but can be managed effectively with prescribed painkillers and proper care.
